Gostisbehere had nine goals, 20 assists, 99 SOG, 28 PIMs and a -8 plus/minus through 48 games but will be forced to miss 4-6 weeks due to an upper-body injury. It is a big loss for Arizona as the defenseman was second on the team in points.
Gostisbehere was outstanding from 2016-to-2019, tying for 14th among defensemen with 187 points (46G / 141A) but has fallen out of favour over the last two seasons. Over that stretch he is tied for 90th but getting a second-round and seventh-round pick to take him is an easy gamble for the Coyotes. With Oliver Ekman-Larsson being traded to the Canucks, Gostisbehere should see plenty of PP time in 2021-22.
Gostisbehere has been a healthy scratch for the last three games but will replace Nate Prosser in the lineup on Monday. Gostisbehere has put up solid offensive numbers this season, with five goals and three assists in 20 games, but the Flyers are looking for more consistency on the defensive end.

Despite Philippe Myers being listed as a game-time decision, Gostisbehere said that he'll play tonight vs. the Bruins. It will be Gostisbehere's first NHL game since February 6th and he comes back in with 12 points (5G / 7A) in 41 games this season.
Gostisbehere missed the Flyers morning skate and will not play vs. the Panthers on Monday. Head coach Alain Vigneault said that Gostisbehere is dealing with some knee pain, so consider him day-to-day.

Gostisbehere will miss his 10th straight game on Monday but head coach Alain Vigneault expects to have him back on Thursday. They Flyers have gone 6-2-1 with 3.33 goals for and 2.56 goals against per game without him so there is no reason for them to rush him back if he's not 100 percent.
Gostisbehere was hurt late in Wednesday's game in Carolina and missed Thursday's game vs. the Capitals. The third-pairing defenseman is scheduled to undergo surgery next Tuesday and will keep him sidelined until late-January/early-February.
